and October is known as secret season in Santa Fe.
No.4 is Portland, Oregon.
The city has 1.4 million trees and most of them turn colors,
so Portland is popping in the fall.
Plus the Japanese Garden has beautiful
Japanese maples that turn bright red.
No.3 is Boston, where you can take in some color and some history.
Ah, and peak leaf changing season is late September to late August.
No. 2 is Burlington, Vermont because,
well, just look at it.
And No. 1 is Asheville, North Carolina.
The Blue Ridge Mountains
have an ecosystem that allow for the longest leaf changing season
in the world, really starting in late September
and lasting sometimes through middle November.
